Same with horsebackriding. We salute the judges, mostly in dressage. Horsebackriding also used to be a militairy sport. We also get points for saluting. If you do it wrong, you can get points taken off

Dressage and Carriage Driving we salute the judge too for the same reasons. Before and after and a show of respect.

at rhythmic gymnastics we just present to the judges as a proper start to the routine

That's dope but anyway, let's see you do that move in competition international competition 😎😎😎

They should probably stop using that *specific* salute...

Thank you, Ian!! I love that you care for us by teaching us all about the things we don't understand

Salute *T POSES*

Hello. I am a German student. When I saw the salute at the beginning of your routine I choked on my food

Also, saluting signals the time period between when a judge can and cannot deduct points

Thanks!!! I’ve always wondered why everyone does it. I love ur vids. Keep up the great work.

Oh, wow, I just thought it came out of the arena in which gladiators saluted the emperor.

I guess it' s a mix. "I' m ready", showing respect to the judges and, since there is an *A* , showing respect and gratitude to the audience.

I figured it was for the judges to know when to start and stop judging

Its wild to me that someone could forget to salute. It was so ingrained my friend group that we could face plant into the block pit and still salut XD

We call it a present bc you're presenting yourself to the judge, idk if that is women's gymnastics or just the UK

I'm just a little "shocked" right now because of the first salut. He salutes with only his right arm up. In the 2. worldwar this was the greeting of the germans and is nowdays forbidden with legal penalties. It's so crazy for me as a german, to see, that this salut is still used in public, also I know it has nothing to do with the greeting 😳😮

Love the last inclusion. I understand after that, the first thing isn't showing deference

“We’re did I come from “ I’ll let the Germans answer that

Used to train soldiers? Damn. Imagine a soldier doing a triple backflip quadruple flippityflop over the barbed wire, I'd instantly surrender

Me sees salute:😐 My mind: Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein

I did fencing, we had to salute/bow to our opponent, coach/judge, and the audience. It’s a symbol of respect, if you are rude, the judge can like the opponent more than you and might give the point to them if you both touched at the same time.

We don’t call it a salut in Britain, we call it a present Another one that everyone in England gets wrong is an aerial. It’s a free cartwheel over here

Oh man .3 That's a position changing error

Another reason why women’s and men’s gymnastics is a different sport. We women gymnast salute with both arms. And we curve are wrists

Very interesting. They salute in dressage as well because it was also milatry training

Its exactly the same for rhythmic gymnastics :3

I have my first level four competition I am really nervous

Wow that's cool 😎 👌 😊

It goes back even further than that. In the military the hand goes up to the eyebrow to salute. This goes back to medieval times when they would rise their visor to go into battle during jousting. It was a sign up sign of respect before you went into battle to look your competitor in the eyes.

Knights=army=military. And gymnastics is much older- it originates in Ancient Greece.

Now in American military the hardest thing you’ll do is run 3 miles and carry someone on your back for 10 seconds

you mean when you have "fly by" you need to remember salute still?

I thought it was because they were all Nazis. Gee. I am sure glad you cleared that up. Now I can sleep at night.

Do you have the numbers on how much of you followers are other gymnasts or how many just think its neat or whatever?

Hey, I know yesterday you came to Cypress academy Huffmeister Road I was one of them there and I was like I feel like I know him because I follow him and that’s cute

who's the gymnast in the first clip?

Have you forgotten to salute??

Will German gymnasts salute differently? This gesture is very close to certain other gesture that is now illegal in Germany.

😳 Good point! Believe it or not, I' d NEVER thought about it. I swear to Omelianchik and Bogui. That' s my level of dissociation between "the gesture" and our salute. Correct me if I' m wrong but there' s no problem at all in MAG and WAG. Actually, the potentially problematic is only the initial one (with a single arm), after the dismount it' s often done with both.

@@sebumpostmortem Thanks for answering! Being German myself, it was the first thing I thought of. I'm gonna guess and say they probably use both arms here. But I'll have to check.

are there different ways to salute?

Not saluting as a penalty is some authoritarian bullshit. I get signaling at the beginning, but everyone can tell when you finish.

Just like dressage and show jumping. The military tradition doesn't stray far from some sports, haha!

Why do women and men salute differently in their routines

hundreds of years ? When do you date the beginning of modern gymnastics ? earlier than 1823 ?

Why am I reminded of the nazi salute

Why do female gymnast do the over arm thing is it their version of a salute

Salute to them and they’re not even looking 🙄🙄
